This Armchair Gaming King Looks Set to Zing Back into Profit Again.

Hello Share Chums. This ancient armchair trader has long favoured the robust armchair gaming industry. However, it must be admitted that the market has cooled in its support from the City during the last year or so. That’s probably because all boom markets have to cease back at some stage. Only to recover their momentum later on.

With TV's, Washing Machines and Laptops Relishing a Probable Revival, Take a Gander at this Growing Online Telly Seller.

Hello Share Grabbers. This ancient baby boomer is fed up with others in my group. Too many of them buy shares in tobacco companies, arms dealers and firms that still test on animals. Not quite right, in my humble opinion. But what do I know? That off my chest, let me commend to you a company that sells electrical stuff.

Why a Share Rise Could Be in the Pipeline for this Plumbing King.

Hello Share Wobblers. Victorian Plumbing Group (VIC) is a Merseyside-based company whose name appeals to me as my home has got, well, Victorian plumbing. I must do something about those leaky taps. I’m also thinking of investing here as the company looks to be rather a good bet. Over the last year, Victorian Plumbing's share price has hit a high of 100p. and a low of 65.5p. Currently, it’s around 75p and I see no glaring reason why, with a recovering economy, it can’t reach its old highs.

The Black Horse Gallops Ahead - and I should Jolly Well Think so, too

Hello Share Shufflers. This old punter struggled to find you a deserving, but overlooked, small capper this week. So I return to a well-traded penny share, Lloyds Bank (LLOY). The Black Horse has been galloping ahead, putting on nearly 20% since a low point on February 13th. But it’s still a long way from its post 2008 bank crash best.

Sewage on the Loose? Who You Gonna Call? This Polished Cleaning Outfit is on the Way Up, a penny share buy to gain 50%

Hello Share Mates. Have you ever stopped to consider how much the act of cleaning steals from modern life. Nobody likes talking about it, but it has to be done. I’ve started my spring cleaning early and begrudge every bit of it. But it got me thinking about a cleaning company called React (REAT).

Take a Butcher's at the High Divi Outfit that Cashes in on One of the Windiest Places in Europe.

Hello Share Fans. Do you fancy an investment in green energy, but are a bit put off by the unreliability of some denizens of the sector? Then may I suggest a company that invests in existing wind farms and sells the power to utility companies.

Don't Try this Very Risky Ploy, Chums, Just Because I Sometimes Do.

Hello Share Tweakers. Today’s article illustrates a Stock Market stratagem. But it’s dead risky and I don't recommend it. However, it’s a speculative ploy that’s sometimes clicked for me over many years. So it’s only fair to tell you about it, while ironically warning you off.

Watch for Outfits in the Takeover Lane. They're Likely to be More Common - and Fructiferous

Hello Share Wavers. Twenty years ago, most of my income came from takeovers. I would choose a company that might be in the sights of a bigger fish and buy some shares, and it was not unheard of for me to suddenly make £10,000, say, in a day when a merger was confirmed. Examples are Arm Holdings or Yorkshire Television, but this has now not happened for me for some time. These days I tend to choose companies with regular pay-outs to keep me in take-away pizzas. But my favourite analytical bank, Berenberg, reckons that takeovers are coming back in vogue. Where though should we trust our mazuma when hoping for a takeover?
